The Tampa Bay Lightning visit the Toronto Maple Leafs Saturday night in a clash of teams who have struggled since the Olympic break and dabbled in the trade market on Friday.

With the team on an 0-4-2 skid since the three-week break for the Olympic Winter Games Milano Cortina 2026, the decision was made to trade away player assets for draft capital. As such, forwards Bobby McMann, Scott Laughton and Nicolas Roy were dealt in separate trades that netted Toronto a total of five picks.

The remaining 19 games for the Maple Leafs will still see Craig Berube behind the bench, two notable deletions and some Marlies sprinkled through the lineup. It won’t change the inevitable. This team is going south to an unknown fate for many after April 15.

The Toronto Maple Leafs have traded Bobby McMann to the Seattle Kraken and Scott Laughton to the LA Kings. Here’s who else was traded ahead of the Friday, March 6 deadline at 3 p.m.

Toronto Maple Leafs make a surprising roster move as the team navigates mounting pressure in the playoff race, sparking major discussions around their latest trade decision.
